[QUOTE="DWreck, post: 605609, member: 30114"] I tore my ACL and cartilage when I was 12 years old so they couldn't repair it until I was done growing. Just cleaned it up because the cartilage was floating around and locking up the joint. I had reconstructive surgery on it when I was 20 and it was a year before I really trusted and started testing it. I was playing it safe and probably over did it on waiting. I didn't start riding until I was 27 but can tell you after going 8 years with no ACL I learned how to be very protective of my knee and have had absolutely no problems with it since then. Basketball, tennis, MX. etc. I try and keep my feet on the pegs and usually do the turtle roll when the bike starts to get away from me. The recovery sucks but if you are like me the frustration of not being able to do anything is the worst part and after a couple of weeks you learn to block out the pain and start pushing your rehab. When you can start weight training DO IT. Make it part of your life. Leg extensor and leg curls. Strong muscles help protect the knee. I'm very careful about how much weight I use and don't get too crazy on leg press. [/QUOTE]
